European Union

Mr Philip Hammond: I have today laid before both Houses a paper, ‘Alternatives to membership: possible models for the United Kingdom outside the European Union’. This paper is the first part of the report that the Government will publish to meet the requirement of section 7(1) of the European Union Referendum Act 2015. The second part of this report, which will provide information about the rights and obligations that arise as a result of the UK’s membership of the EU, will be laid at a later date. Both parts of the report will be available to read together on the GOV.UK website.

Correction to Oral Parliamentary Question

Rory Stewart: During Oral Questions to the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on Thursday, 4 February (Hansard , col 1061) I said in answer to a question from my hon. Friend, the Member for North Cornwall (Scott Mann), Legal proceedings were brought and the decision was made by Truro Crown court, under the hon. Judge Carr, to instead impose an enforcement order.  I should of course have referred to an enforcement undertaking rather than an order and I wish to correct the Record by means of this Written Ministerial Statement.
